Mt. Denali

 

Mt. Denali.

Today was going to be a celebration of 50 years of marriage by taking a flight to Mt. Denali. During the night Chris developed a nasty cough and got worse in the morning, so her flight seeing was not to be. I asked a friend to take her place and this afternoon we began our flight to the interior. Weather permitting we were to land on a glacier behind Denali.  Weather permitted!  

There were eight of us besides the pilot. We saw Mt. Denali, which makes us members of the 30 percent club. Only 30 percent of visitors actually see Denali.   The flight was beautiful. 

  Beauty everywhere!

  Chris was sad to miss our 50th celebration. I told her we would be celebrating all year.     Tomorrow we have a eight hour drive to the Kenai Peninsula where our adventure continues.
